Slash

Rock Band may be getting all this press for its unique gamplay, but GUITAR HERO III is not just going to bend over and give up its reigns as the most metal video game out there.

METAL Injection can exclusively report that Guitar Hero III will feature rock icon SLASH of Velvet Revolver and Guns 'N' Roses fame as a playable character in the game. Slash went down to the Guitar Hero studios and was placed in a motion capture suit to record his shredding. To unlock the Slash character, you will have to face him in a 1-on-1 duel after completing all the songs in the game.

As we've previously reported, here are the confirmed tracks for the third version of the Guitar Hero series:
Evenflow: Pearl Jam
Lay Down: Priestess
Paint It Black: The Rolling Stones
Cherub Rock: Smashing Pumpkins
Sabotage: Beastie Boys
The Metal: Tenacious D
My Name is Jonas: Weezer
Knights of Cydonia : Muse
Rock And Roll All Nite: Kiss
School’s Out: Alice Cooper
Slow Ride: Fog Hat
Cult of Personality: Living Colour
Barracuda: Heart

    [...] Here's one for all your music nuts out there. It seems that Slash from Guns 'N Roses/Velvet Revolver will be making an appearance in Guitar Hero III. The news comes from MetalInjection.com, but the way the story is written just makes me think rumor.

    [...] La idea me parece genial: sería un buen aliciente y daría más personalidad al juego. Creo que la va a necesitar para plantar cara al prometedor Rock Band. ¿A qué virtuoso de la guitarra os gustaría controlar? La mala noticia es que la fuente original es Metal Injection, donde dicen que Slash se sometió a una sesión de Motion Capture en los estudios de desarrollo del juego. Añaden además que para desbloquear el personaje habrá que vencerle en un cara a cara tras completar con éxito todas las canciones de Guitar Hero III. Sí, suena a bulo 100%, pero Slash mola y aún no aparecía en Anait. [...]
